The Steeldrivers in Murray, KY Friday August 2

Catch The Steeldrivers in Murray, KY on Friday August 8th at Lovett Auditorium at 7:30. Tickets available at Ticketmaster.com. If you are planning to attend this show you might want to go ahead and get tickets. As of this posting date less than half of the 200 seats were left. Lovett Live is still saying that seating is limited to 200 for this concert. The reason being that the setup is the coffeehouse style setup where all ticket holders sit on stage with the band. I will be co-emceeing the evening with my fellow Front Porch host Mark Welch so come on out and say hello and catch one of the hottest bands around.

Image via WikipediaThe Steeldrivers are touring in support of their incredible self-titled debut album. They have been hailed as a breath of fresh air in a bluegrass market that has become rather routine of late. When I explain this band I often say they are what Creedence Clearwater Revival would have sounded like had they played bluegrass. They are a 5-piece getup filled with incredibly talented studio musicians.

Why not come on down to Murray and see us and catch a great night of music in a very unique environment?

Aaron McDaris - "Draggin My Heart Around" from First Time Around - 2006

McDaris has played bluegrass music professionally for twelve years. He started out with Second Exit for three years, before a three-year stint with New Tradition. From there he joined the Larry Stephenson. McDaris joined The Grascals in December of 2006.

In 2005 McDaris recorded this little jewel of bluegrass music and the project was released on Pinecastle Records. It's still available and I highly recommend you to add this to your collection if you are a bluegrass music fan.
